- 98 sport 4.0L v6 SOHC
always had bad gas mialage but this week i filled up sunday and had to again today, as soon as gas light came on i filled up, put in 15.8 gallons and trip meter read 179 miles, its a 17 gallon tank on a 98 explorer sport 4.0L v6 sohc, if im right thats about 11.3 miles to the gallon, which to me is pretty bad, when i first got the car it would get about 250 miles till gas light came on, everything is stock except the air filter which is an open air box with round k&n air filter, i had to replace the MAF senser a lil while ago because check engine light came on saying it was to lean, then the new MAf solved the problem with dead power, the gas milage has steadily gone down over the period of a year. it has 95,600 miles, bought it with 79,000 miles, the tires are michelin ltx m/s with about 20,000 miles on them, evertime i check them they got the same pressure as what i put in them all the way around which is 34.5. i have no idea what could be wrong, a 6 cylinder engine should do a lil better than that to me....,
i do have a heavy foot but ive had one even when it was gettin decent gas milage... any help would be nicee
